“No Kings” anti-Trump protests are scheduled in all 50 statesthis weekend. Organizers claim demonstrators will confront police in 2,000 locations, including 30 location across Los Angeles with federalized National Guard and U.S. Marine units.
Peter Schweizer and the Government Accountability Instituterecently published ‘Arabella: The Dark Money Network of Leftist Billionaires Secretly Transforming America.’ According to Schweizer, 'No Kings' and its tax sheltered Non-Government-Organization (NGO) fellow travelers have received about $114.8 million in Arabella cash for use as force multipliers to overwhelm law enforcement from Mississippi to Malawi.
CNN mapped cities with protests and states with National Guard deployments below:
The New York Times and other mainstream media reported thatthe Trump Administration just terminated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from deportation for another I million migrants that illegally entered the U.S. under the Biden Administration.
In addition to 350,000 Venezuelans that lost their TPS status in April, Department of Homeland Security yesterday notified 500,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans that their status was terminated and they must self-deport immediately.
Law enforcement traditionally tended to deal with highly-localized leftist riots in places like Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. But the 2020 Black Lives Matter civil disorder that began in Minnesota, instantly began raising huge amounts of Go Fund Me cash finance spreading like a wildfire across almost every U.S. city with 100,000 population.
As a result, BLM by “flooding the zone” in multiple cities in 20 states, became the most expensive civil disturbance catastrophic insurance loss in history, as shown below:
According to the Carnegie Endowment’s International Peace’s Global Protest Tracker, since 2017 there have been civil disturbances with insurance losses of at least $25 million in 132 countries.
Once civil disturbances get going, organized flash mobs in city centers like Portland, Oregon engage in retail theft and street sales to continue funding “Occupy” movements. Insurers are now black-balling offering standard insurance coverage in about 3% of many central U.S. cities.
Some insurers do offer High Risk insurance to retailers at a 30-80% higher premium costs. But this brutally high new cost structure explains why Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy on 2023 to close so many of its inter-city drug stores. But two year later Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy a second time and is now being liquidated.
How many showed up to the No Kings rally in Redding?

"Democrats Are Wary of Playing Into Trump’s Hands by Supporting ‘No Kings,’ L.A. Protests

Key Points
1. Democrats are wary of spreading protests against Trump’s immigration policies, fearing a law-and-order backlash.
2. Nationwide “No Kings” protests are planned in response to Trump’s policies.
3. Some see parallels to Black Lives Matter protests, with concerns that violence could damage the movement’s cause.
Democratic leaders are sensing political danger.
Protests against the Trump administration, which are set to continue this weekend after a week of uprising that spread from Los Angeles across the country, have energized a portion of the left-wing base that has been despondent since President Trump’s election. The budding “No Kings” movement gives the left a chance to capitalize on the political moment, in which many people are reacting with fury to Trump’s targeting of noncriminal immigrants for deportations, aggressive tactics of immigration-enforcement agents and deployment of soldiers in response to protest.
But Democrats have struggled to toe the line between taking an aggressive stance against Trump without playing into his hands, especially on matters of law-and-order and illegal immigration. Protests, where anyone can show up and cause trouble, are especially unpredictable.
“The dangers outweigh the potential upsides for Democrats and for Trump, which is not a contradiction,” said Matt Bennett, co-founder of the center-left think tank Third Way. “Trump could go too far; he always does. And the protests could also—and already kind of have—go sideways for us.”.....
